After years of contracts I switched to NET10. I bought the prepaid phone at Wal-Mart and it came with 300 minutes included. Each call is .10 and texting is .5. Best decision I've made. I'm saving more than $50 a month! With unemployment on the rise and economic uncertainty we’ve had to make an effort to start cut costs. After years of contracts I switched to NET10.

I was tied to contract cells for more than 10 years in order to avoid the cancellation fees. It just became easier to renew when I needed a new phone. Till last year when I wised up and switched to NET10. Bought an LG phone at Wal-Mart which already came w/ 300 minutes. Now I only pay for what I need - no roaming and no hidden fees. Calls are only 10 cents and texting only 5 cents. Why should we put ourslves at the mercy of a contract provider when we can just take ownership of our cell expenses by switching to prepaid?
